Brief Answer:
Yes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query.

In my view you must visit the emergency room where the doctor will advise you to get x-ray of that involved part done in AP and Lateral review and also see the condition of osteotomy and physical examination of joint and skin.

Then he will advise you further management of swelling and pain.

Avoid weightlifting bearing till you get your xray.

I hope you have got your answer.

Thanks,

Dr.CHANDER XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
